I love the smell of gingerbread baking, as the sweet aroma fills the house. Yum! These gingerbread people don't have the same scent, but they sure are cute!

I cut out some simple gingerbread shapes, gathered materials, and set everything out. That's it. The great thing is, you can use whatever you have on hand to decorate the little guys (or girls, as I was constantly corrected while we made them!). If you aren't in the mood for a mess, crayons are fine; if you're feeling a bit more daring, bring on the glitter! (My secret with glitter - add it to glue. It's still messy but not as much as keeping it loose.)

Kay made one gingerbread girl a creepy, many-eyed one, mostly because when she added 3 googly eyes I noted, "Wow! 3 eyes, huh?" and that seemed to inspire her to add even more! She's also proud of her ability to make faces (which is a relatively recent development) so she made an adorable one too. (I'm biased and I know it!)
